Well of course laughing AT people you dislike is a classic bullying technique. And then you say "oh come on it was only a joke!"

Yet bullies never make jokes about themselves, because they are often humourless sociopaths.

Dunno if this is on topic but I thought I'd mention it anyway, just in case.



May be the joke was a bit too gross.

We can laugh at the little misery of the others, and we can laugh at the big misery on ourselves, but we cannot laugh at the big misery of the others.

The line is fuzzy, and partly cultural, that is why there is something like diplomacy.
